OTTUMWA.—We began our tent effort here the first of July, and continued work until the nineteenth of August. We advertised our meetings in three ways: First, by putting sign-boards on the street-cars, some of which remained until the meetings closed; second, by distributing illustrated handbills once a week throughout the city; and third, by using the public press for a daily review of our discourses.

In this way during the meetings we published over forty sermons, with large head-lines, filling from half a column to a column and a half of the paper. The Courier has an extensive circulation throughout the southern part of the State of Iowa, and we felt that this did more for our meetings than the other advertising, which cost over one hundred dollars. Our attendance varied from seventy-five to three hundred each evening, and more than a score of persons accepted the truth.
